Canceling the Vocal Part and Playing the Part with Backing (Vocal Cancel)
This lets you cancel or attenuate the center position of the stereo sound. This lets you sing "karaoke" style
with just instrumental backing, since the vocal sound is usually at the center of the stereo image in most
recordings. This function cannot be applied to the sound input from the microphone or [AUX IN] jack or
the audio sound received from a smart device connected by wireless LAN.
First select an Audio file, then press the [I] button to turn Vocal Cancel on. Press the [3] button to start
playback, allowing you to confirm that the vocal part is muted. If you select another audio file, this setting
will be switched to off.

NOTE
Though the Vocal Cancel function is highly effective on most audio recordings, the vocal sound on some songs may not be completely cancelled.
